Glad there's some good news for privacy in the news, as much of the time one sees discouraging trends.

I have wondered if the very minimal changes have been as there's some anticipation that the easier HN becomes on mobile the more likely users would comment while on the go, which may be considered a negative if it affects comment quali

That is different, it styles the browser chrome rather than page content (at least in existing implementations). On desktop for example one can see the effect by using Vivaldi browser with a theme that has accent color enabled. It also is d

In this case the phone number was immediately required without an invite (and without joining any server yet), just using the regular sign up page as the only site interaction. While ironically no phone was required for a separate user with

I was just meaning if there was a reason why articles exclude the logos in question but I suppose this reply generated its own comment chain :p

Was puzzling they didn't include an image of said logo[1]. IIRC I've observed this for some other articles in the past covering trademark disputes. Is there a common reason they might do this? [1] https://www.swissfruit

If they are doing this intentionally then it's possibly because they announced they'd be deleting inactive accounts beginning from this month so perhaps they're giving some another chance. It's actually ridiculous the by

Reddit not long ago announced a plan to delete all comments from a submission whenever an OP deleted their submission (ordinarily only the OP's post would be deleted). There was quite a lot of pushback since the consensus was many comm

It might be feasible for a community centered on content creators as the site appears to showcase, though for much of Reddit there are all manner of posts including just OPs asking a random question which doesn't need to be monetized b

Hmm, as I've seen topics like this[1] for EAC, though a comment from a different result[2] mentions EAC can be configured to optionally block VMs so maybe it varies by game. > Today, I purchased and installed Dead by Daylight with

by Springtime 3y ago
The problem with VMs is games that require anti-cheat, which from what I've read from user experiences try to detect and prevent VM usage (not sure about Valve's anti-cheat though).

Kind of a tangent but Voat used to be a direct clone, though it seemed to attract more of a certain negative tone among its users that seemed to characterize the site. Culture of a site is as significant as the tech in terms of persuading&#

The content of the email was posted to the Github issues[1] for those wondering. Edit: I'll add that it centers on Youtube's API usage, which Invidious doesn't use so there's some ambiguity in how it relates to the proje

Yeah. It made me wonder if they priced it such that it could be argued it's a success by a smaller metric, giving themselves leeway. As while they're positioning this as a general computing device it's unclear how many will b
